Advanced Permissions

Company Access Permissions

This article outlines what permissions you can customize on a company level.

With GoCo's new advanced permissions you'll not only have the ability to customize team level access, you'll also have the ability to customize company level access! 

❗Please note: Company Access is the highest level of access in GoCo. By enabling full access under any module, the user will have full access access for ALL team members (you will not be able to filter this by department/location).

To set up company access you'll first need to decide if you'd like the team member to have No Access (which is the default), Full Access (to all modules and team member information), or Custom. If you choose custom, you'll have the ability to adjust access types by modules:
